Marsh Mellow
is the trade name of the fabric and rubber

spring developed by Firestone Industrial Products in the
early 1970's. Rubber springs have long been a subject
of interest in the vehicular suspension and industrial
application fields because of their reliability, corrosion
resistance, low cost, and basic simplicity. The concept
has been tried with varying degrees of success over
the years. The major obstacle to solid rubber springs
has been that to obtain the load requirements for many
applications, solid rubber springs were either physically
too large, or became unstable laterally when they were
made long enough to provide good isolation. The con-
cept of stacking rubber springs answered the latter
problem, but introduced the need for complicated
mechanical guide systems to control the lateral move-
ment.
The Marsh Mellow
fabric and rubber spring solves this

basic problem and provides a new and unique way to
make use of the many advantages of rubber as an
isolator. The basic construction of the Marsh Mellow
spring includes a solid rubber core with a hollow center,

and fabric reinforced body. The controllable variables of
this construction are the keys to the extreme design
flexibility that the spring offers.

Advantages of Firestone
Marsh Mellow
springs
Constant Vibration Isolation
with Changing Loads
The variable spring rate allows for a nearly constant
natural frequency with changing loads. This results in
consistent vibration isolation with variable loading.
High Load Carrying Capacity
Due to the Marsh Mellow
springs greater deflection

capabilities and load carrying influences of the
fabric reinforcement, it can carry a greater load
when compared to an all rubber part of the same
modulus and dimensions.
Excellent Vibration Isolation
Low natural frequencies provide excellent isolation of
forced frequencies in the range of 800-1200 cycles
per minute (13-20Hz).
Lateral Vibration Isolation
The lateral spring rate of a Marsh Mellow
spring
can be less than the vertical spring rate, resulting
in a lower lateral natural frequency. Marsh Mellow
springs provide better vibration isolation in all
degrees of freedom.
Compact Overall Size
The ability to support greater loads and maintain
a cylindrical shape results in a smaller overall size
of the Marsh Mellow spring compared to an all
rubber spring with identical load capacity. This is
important when considering an application with a
small design envelope.
Corrosion Resistant
for a Durable, Long Life
Due to its rubber and fabric reinforced construction,
the Marsh Mellow spring has been proven in the
damp and corrosive environments of mines and mills
where a standard coil spring will fail.
Does Not Bottom-Out
Due to the rubber construction, Marsh Mellow springs
do not bottom-out like coil springs. Bottoming-out
under overload or surge load sends a large amount of
stress to all of the machines components.
Eliminates Downtime and Potential
Damage to Machinery
When a coil spring fails, it will often crack allowing
fragments of the coil to damage equipment. This
problem is eliminated with the rubber construction
of Marsh Mellow springs. Additionally, Marsh
Mellow springs exhibit exceptionally high overload
characteristics and usually do not fail catastrophically,
offering some support even during failure.
Increased Stability at Higher
Percentages of Compression
Rubber is an incompressible fluid which will flow to
the path of least resistance. In a Marsh Mellow, as the
height compresses, the fabric reinforced rubber plies
pantograph and the diameter grows. This supports the
rubber core laterally even at 30-40% compression.
Effective Noise Reduction
Marsh Mellow springs reduce structurally transmitted
noise caused by vibration. Marsh Mellow springs
are quiet, unlike steel springs which often suffer
coil chatter and readily transmit high frequency
structural noise.
Low Cost
The Marsh Mellow springs high load capability
means fewer springs may be needed in an application,
resulting in less overall cost.
Maintenance Free
Marsh Mellow springs have no moving parts.
No maintenance or lubrication is required.
4
Temperature
Our standard industrial Marsh Mellow springs have
an operating range of -40F to 135F (-40C to 57C).
The upper limit is defined by the actual rubber
temperature during operation. High frequency inputs
or large deflections will cause the rubber temperature
to increase.
Design Envelope
Adequate clearance should be provided around the
Marsh Mellow spring to prevent rubbing of the outer
cover. The outside diameter of the spring at various
heights is listed in the table of dynamic characteristics
on each individual data page.
Contaminates
Shielding should be used to protect the rubber from
exposure to hot metal, petroleum base fluids, acids,
etc. Please consult Firestone if you wish to know
how the spring will withstand a specific contaminate.
(For liquids such as acids, it is important to know both
concentration and temperature.)
Storage
The best storage environment is a dark, dry area at
normal room temperature.
Percent Compression
The general compression range of a Marsh Mellow
spring is 15% to 27%, however this value may vary
somewhat among springs and applications. Always
follow the load ranges and their corresponding com-
pression percentages as shown in the selection guide.
Allowable Stroke
When applying a Marsh Mellow spring, the stroke
throughout the range of motion of the machine being
isolated must be considered. Delta strain, defined as
the ratio of the stroke to the free length, is restricted
to less than 7.5%.
Note that a given stroke is typical of vibrating screen
types of applications, where the stroke is designed into
the system. In other isolation applications, this stroke
may not be known. The stroke is typically not exces-
sive in standard isolation applications, but should be
considered. Consult Firestone for assistance.
Disturbing Frequency Range
Marsh Mellows are suitable for disturbing frequencies in
the 800-1200 CPM (13-20Hz) range for medium stroke
applications. High frequency, high stroke applications
may lead to overheating the Marsh Mellow spring. Low
stroke applications, however, are capable of handling
higher disturbing frequencies. Please consult Firestone
Industrial Products with specific applications.
Lateral Stability
The lateral spring rate to load ratio for a Marsh
Mellow spring decreases as deflection increases.
This is one reason it is important not to exceed the
given load capabilities.
Precautions with Marsh Mellow
springs
5
Center of Gravity
A Marsh Mellow spring isolation system is inherently soft
(easily deflected); therefore, precautions must be taken
to insure that the system is stable. First consider the
location of the center of gravity (CG). Ideally, Marsh
Mellow springs should be located on the same plane
(parallel to the ground) as the center of gravity. Where
this is not possible, follow this guideline: The distance
between the narrowest mounting points should be at
least twice the height of the center of gravity.
In the above example, the most narrow distance
between two Marsh Mellow springs is 46 inches
(117 cm). The height to the CG is 48 inches (122 cm);
therefore, this system does not meet our guideline.
Two possible solutions would be:
1. Increase the base dimensions to meet our guide-
line by increasing both the width and length to at
least 48 x 2 or 96 inches (122 x 2 or 244 cm).
2. Locate the Marsh Mellow spring at the CG
as shown below.
Startup and Shutdown / Resonance
and Amplification
Resonance is the condition where the forced
frequency of the vibrating system is equal to the
natural frequency of the suspension. When this
happens, amplification of movement occurs. If the
normal stroke of a vibrating screen, for example, is
5/16 of an inch (8 mm), during startup and shutdown
(as the machine goes through resonance), the
amplitude of movement will be multiplied. So while
the machine is accelerating to normal operating speed
and decelerating during shutdown, the stroke may be
amplified in the range of
1
2 (12 mm) to
1
1
2 (38 mm) inches. The longer the machine
takes to go through resonance (to speed up to,
or slow down from full operating speed), the larger
the amplitude of movement. Note that in some
applications, the addition of viscous or friction
dampers may be required to reduce the amplitude of
motion during startup and shutdown.
Isolating an Unbalanced Mass
The primary concern in this case is the amplitude of
movement. It is dependent on:
1. The ratio of the unbalanced moving mass to the
total suspended mass, and
2. The ratio of the speed of the unbalanced moving
mass (forced frequency) to the natural frequency
of the Marsh Mellow spring and supported
mass system.
The addition of damping to the isolation system
(shock absorbers) will reduce the large amplitude
of movement experienced during resonance.
If the amplitude of movement is too great, one
possible solution would be to add a static inertia base
in order to increase the ratio of the total suspended
mass to the moving unbalanced mass. A good rule of
thumb is 10:1, respectively.
See page 10 for additional information.

Unique construction elements are the key to the
Marsh Mellow
springs design flexibility. The basic

construction of the Marsh Mellow spring includes a
solid rubber core with a hollow center, and several
plies of fabric reinforced rubber as an outer cover.
These elements may be modified to meet specific
load and performance requirements.
Solid Rubber Core Material
The rubber material of the Marsh Mellow spring
has a large effect on the performance of the spring
as well as to what application it is suited. The rubber
material used in vibration isolation applications is
efficient and provides little damping. Higher damping
compounds are available but better suit shock
absorbing applications. The correct rubber core
material is application dependent.
Hollow Center
The diameter of the hollow center is another variable
in the load capacity of the Marsh Mellow spring.
The hollow center directly affects the contact area
over which force is applied. As expected, a smaller
diameter center will support a greater load compared
to an otherwise identical Marsh Mellow spring.
The hollow center also permits mounting the Marsh
Mellow spring in a variety of applications. These
mounting arrangements are discussed in greater
detail within the Installation and Mounting
Arrangements section of the Marsh Mellow
Spring Design Manual.
Fabric Reinforcement
The fabric reinforced rubber has a large effect on
the performance of the Marsh Mellow springs. In
appearance, Marsh Mellow springs are cylindrical in
shape with a hollow center the entire length of the
part. What separates the Marsh Mellow spring from
an all rubber part of the same dimensions is its
bias plies of fabric reinforced rubber. The plies, which
surround the rubber core material, provide stability and
a consistent cylindrical shape. The angle which the
plies are laid upon each other may be manipulated to
meet application specific requirements.
The performance of the Marsh Mellow spring is
influenced by several variables. If the models
provided within this catalog do not meet your
engineering requirements, please contact Firestone
Industrial Products. By modifying the construction
details, we may be able to meet your needs.
Cover Stock
The cover rubber aids in abrasion resistance and
protects the inner layers of fabric reinforcement.
This is not intended to take the place of an adequate
design envelope. Please consult data pages for
outside diameter dimensions, and allow for adequate
space to avoid abrasion.

This section includes terminology associated with the
dynamic characteristics of the Marsh Mellow
spring.
The terminology is defined both quantitatively and
qualitatively. This information will help in determining
which spring best suits an application, whether it is
vibration isolation, isolating an unbalanced mass, or
shock absorption.
Vibration Isolation
Vibration (disturbing frequency)
The periodic motion of a body, measured in cycles
per minute.
Isolator
An isolator is a device which allows two objects
to exist without influencing each other. For example,
a Marsh Mellow spring prevents a vibrating object
from affecting the surrounding environment while still
allowing the object to vibrate.
Spring Rate
Spring rate is defined as the amount of force required
to deflect a spring 1 inch. Graphically, spring rate is
equal to the slope of the load/deflection curve at the
corresponding load. A steel coil spring has a constant
spring rate as shown by the straight line on the
load/deflection chart below. The slope of a Marsh
Mellow spring curve changes with height. This results
in a changing spring rate. These characteristics are
illustrated below:
Spring Rate = Force = Slope of the Load/Deflection Curve
Deflection
Load/Deflection Curves
Effective Deflection
Because the slope of the Marsh Mellow spring
load/deflection curve changes, the spring rate must
be expressed in terms of effective deflection and load.
Effective deflection is the difference between actual
deflection and the x intercept of the tangent line to the
load curve at the design load. Effective deflection is also
equal to the given load divided by the slope of the load
curve at that point.
Effective Deflection (in) =
Load (lbs)
Spring Rate (lbs / in)
Effective Deflection (m) =
Load (kN)
Spring Rate (kN / m)
Since the spring rate of a coil spring is constant,
the effective deflection is equivalent to the actual
deflection. A Marsh Mellow springs spring rate
increases as the load increases, therefore the
effective deflection is almost constant. This results
in a consistent isolator with changing loads.

Dynamic Characteristics
Natural Frequency
A spring systems natural frequency determines the
efficiency of an isolator. Effective isolators have a low
natural frequency.
Natural Frequency (CPM) = 188 x Spring Rate (lbs / in)
Load (lbs)
Natural Frequency (Hz) = 0.50 x Spring Rate (kN / m)
Load (kN)
Disturbing Frequency
Disturbing frequency is the frequency of the motion
which needs to be isolated. This is usually expressed
in cycles per minute (CPM) or cycles per second (Hz).
As an example, the disturbing frequency of a motor is
the number of revolutions per minute. The lower the
disturbing frequency is, the more difficult it is to isolate.
Transmissibility
Transmissibility is the amount of vibration energy
which is transmitted from the vibrating source to the
surrounding environment.
% Transmission =
100
Disturbing Freq (CPM)
Natural Freq (CPM)
Isolation
Isolation is the amount of vibration energy prevented
from being transmitted through the isolator.

Resonance
Resonance occurs when the disturbing frequency
equals the natural frequency of the Marsh Mellow
spring system. When this occurs the amplitude of
vibration will increase without bound. The system is
unstable at resonance.
Amplification
Amplification occurs when the disturbing frequency is
less than 1.4 times the natural frequency. The vibrat-
ing motion is amplified in this range.
Amplitude
Amplitude is the amount of motion associated with the
vibration. Quantitatively, the amplitude is half of the
total peak to peak distance. On the figure below it is
defined as X
1
and X
2
.
Stroke
The stroke is the total peak to peak distance the
machine moves during operation. It is equal to twice
the amplitude.
Strain
Marsh Mellow springs will survive a defined amount of
movement from vibrating equipment. The amount of
movement, or stroke, allowed is measured in delta
strain. Delta strain is dependent upon stroke and the
free height of the Marsh Mellow spring.
Strain = Stroke (in or mm) x 100%
Free Height (in or mm)
The maximum delta strain allowed for the Marsh
Mellow spring is 7.5%. The following delta chart
shows the relationship of free height, stroke, and
delta strain.

Excursion
Excursion is the amount of movement caused by a
moving mass. An isolator will not decrease this move-
ment. Excursion, however, can be controlled through
dampers or by increasing the static mass. Excursion
is directly proportional to the ratio of moving mass to
static mass. The smaller the ratio is, the smaller the
amount of excursion. A good rule of thumb is a static
mass no smaller than 10 times the moving mass.
Excursion(in or mm) ~ MovingMass(lbs or kN)
StaticMass(lbs or kN)
Static, or Inertia, Mass
Static, or inertia, mass is a heavy base used to
decrease the amount of movement caused by a
smaller moving mass.
Eccentricity
Eccentricity is the radius a moving mass rotates,
thereby causing excursion. The larger the eccentricity,
the greater the amount of excursion.

Table of Dynamic Characteristics
The Table of Dynamic Characteristics contains critical
information needed to select the correct Marsh Mellow
spring. The range of allowable percentages of
compression are given at the top of the table. The
corresponding heights and loads, as well as the
spring rate and effective deflection, are listed below
the percentages of compression. It is necessary to
know the natural frequency of the Marsh Mellow

Marsh Mellow spring and Mounting
Pin Dimensions
A Marsh Mellow spring has three important
dimensions: outside diameter, inside diameter,
and free height. The three dimensions illustrated on
the data sheet are at an unloaded state. The heights
and outside diameters of the Marsh Mellow spring
under loaded conditions are listed in the table of
dynamic characteristics.
The mounting pin dimensions for the specific spring
are needed for installation. These given dimensions
are for typically mounting the Marsh Mellow spring in
vibration isolation applications. The height of the
mounting pin, and mounting plate diameter, are the
minimum values allowed at maximum loading. The
pin diameter should be equal to the inside diameter
of the spring.

Load/Deflection Curve
The load/deflection curve shows the load vs. height
of the Marsh Mellow spring.
In order to determine the height of the Marsh Mellow
spring at a given load, use the load/deflection curve.
Move horizontally on the chart from the given load on
the vertical axis. Stop and make a fixed point at the
compression curve. The height directly below this
point on the x axis is the height of the Marsh Mellow
spring at the given load. This procedure is shown on
the chart below with a given load of 4000 lbs.
1. Proceed right horizontally from a load of 4000 lbs.
2. Stop and make a fixed point directly on the
compression curve.
3. Proceed straight down to the horizontal axis.
4. The intersection at the horizontal axis is the height
at the given load, 7.8 inches.

1. For specific design parameters needed to determine
the correct Marsh Mellow spring for an application,
consult the Design Parameter Sheet on page 61.
2. If possible, determine the load at each mounting
point. If this is not possible, estimate the load on
the Marsh Mellow spring by adding the weight of
the machine plus the weight of the materials on
the machine while operating, then divide the total
weight by the number of Marsh Mellow springs to
be used. This estimate will only be accurate if the
loads center of gravity is equidistant from each
mounting point. If the weight of the machine is
unknown, contact the equipment manufacturer,
your distributor or Firestone for assistance.
Firestones or your distributors machine weight
estimates are based on the manufacturers pub-
lished weights of current models of the same size
and type. Weight consideration must be given to a
special machine, modified machines, or older
machines that will add weight to the unit.
3. Select a spring that falls in the mid-range of the
minimum and maximum load capacities shown
in the Selection Guide. For maximum life and
stability, it is suggested that Marsh Mellow springs
be used at or less than 25% (of free height) actual
static deflection. Although the maximum loading
figures in the above selection guide are given at
27.5% deflection (and these Marsh Mellow
springs
all pass our lateral stability test at up to 30%
deflection), the lateral rate to load ratio decreases
as deflection increases. The extra 2.5% deflection,
then, is a safety factor for possible weight miscalcu-
lations. Additionally, the delta strain (Stroke/Free
Length x 100) should not exceed 7.5%.
4. If more than one spring meets the load criteria
in number 2, then select the spring with the
lowest natural frequency (isolation percentage
will be increased).
5. Determine the stroke required.
6. Refer to the second selection guide table.
Check to make sure that for a given stroke
and part, the height and load are within
the allowable limits given.
7. If it does not fall within the proper range, then
select a different spring or go to more than one
Marsh Mellow
spring per corner.

8. Consult the individual data page for the specific
load and vibration capabilities, as well as
mounting and Marsh Mellow spring dimensions.
9. Determine if the natural frequency of the
Marsh Mellow spring will sufficiently isolate
the disturbing vibration.
10. Tag lines are usually required for inclined screens
or screens with off-mounted pivoted motors.
(Consider using our tension band W22-358-0215
or W22-358-0275).
11. Please review the Installation section of
the Marsh Mellow Spring Design Manual for
additional information.
Selection Procedure (Imperial)
15
Vibration Isolation Selection Example
The following example follows the correct procedure
in determining which Marsh Mellow spring best suits
a given set of requirements.
The vibrating screen illustrated to the right has the
following description and design requirements:
Description of Equipment = Vibrating screen
Total Weight of Machine = 12000 lbs.
Total Material Load = 4000 lbs.
Number of Mounting Points = 4
Space Available =10 inch diameter
footprint
Stroke = 1/2 inch
Disturbing Frequency = 1000CPM
Percent Isolation Desired = 90%
1. Determine Individual Spring Load
The exact load at each mounting point is not
available, so the individual loads must be estimated.
The minimum load each spring will support is
assumed to be equal to the machine weight divided
by the number of mounting points.
2. Examine Marsh Mellow Spring
Load Capabilities
From the Selection Guide - Load Capabilities, seven
different Marsh Mellow springs will support load range
from 3000lbs. to 4000lbs. The W22-358-0200, 0176,
0042, 0190, 0179, 0122, and 0228. As discussed in
the Dynamic Characteristics section, a lower natural
frequency Marsh Mellow spring will provide better
isolation. Since the W22-358-0176 has a low natural
frequency at both minimum and maximum loading,
we will select this part for the example.
3. Determine Stroke Requirement
The required stroke for this screen is 0.5 inches with
a maximum load of 4000lbs. On the Selection Table -
Stroke Requirements, the 0176 has a maximum
stroke capability of 0.5 inches with a load range of
1940 to 4540lbs. The 0176 meets this requirement.
16'

Machine Load(lbs) 12000lbs

The maximum load is equal to the machine load plus the weight of the material.
Maximum Load =
(Machine + Material Load)lbs
=
(12000 + 4000)lbs
= 4000lbs per spring
# of Mounting Points 4
16
4. Determine Exact % Isolation
The percentage of isolation can either be calculated
or the % Isolation chart may be used. The first step
is to refer to the individual data page for necessary
information. The Dynamic Characteristics table will
provide this data.
Compression (%) 15.0 20.0 22.5 25.0 27.5
Load (lbs.) 2300 3350 4000 4600 5300
Height (in.) 8.5 8.0 7.8 7.5 7.3
Rate (lbs./in.) 2000 2400 2500 2600 3100
Natural Freq. (CPM) 175 159 149 141 144
Maximum OD (in.) 7.9 8.1 8.3 8.4 8.6
I M P E R I A L
At the minimum load of 3000lbs, the 0176 is between 15% and 20% compression.
We can interpolate this data and estimate the natural frequency at minimum load.
MinimumLoad - Load@15%
=
NaturalFreq - NaturaIFreq@15%
Load@20% - Load@15% NaturaIFreq@20% - NaturaIFreq@15%
NaturalFreq = NatFreq@15% +
[(MinimumLoad - Load@15%) x (NatFreq@20% - NatFreq@15%)]
Load@20% - Load@15%
NaturalFreq = 175CPM +
[(3000 - 2300)lbs x (159 - 175)CPM)]
(3350 - 2300)lbs
NaturalFreq@3000lbs = 164CPM
We can interpolate the natural frequency at the maximum load of 4000lbs in a similar way.
However, in this case we know the natural frequency at 4000lbs directly from the data table.
NaturalFreq@4000lbs = 149CPM
Knowing these natural frequencies, as well as the disturbing frequency, allows us to determine
the exact % isolation with the following equations:
%Isolation = 100 -
100
DisturbingFreq
2
NaturalFreq
-1
%Isolation@3000lbs = 100 - 100
1000CPM

%Isolation@3000lbs. = 97.2%
%Isolation@4000lbs = 100 - 100
1000CPM
2
149CPM
-1
%Isolation@4000/lbs = 97.7%
(Note: The percentage of isolation is relatively constant with changing loads.)

17
The percentage of isolation can also be determined
using the % isolation chart shown above.
The diagonal lines across the chart represent specific
isolation percentages. The intersection point, where
the forced frequency and natural frequency meet,
will lie on or between these diagonal lines. As shown
above, the forced frequency of 1000 CPM and the
natural frequencies of 149 and 164 CPM result in
97-98% isolation.
The percent isolation of 97% exceeds the required
isolation of 90%.
5. Determine Exact Strain
The maximum allowable delta strain a Marsh
Mellow spring can withstand is 7.5%. In order to
calculate this we need to know the free height of
the Marsh Mellow spring. Strain is equal to the
stroke, 0.5 inches, divided by the free height.
Strain = Stoke (in) x 100%
FreeHeight (in)
Strain = 0.5 inches x l00% = 5%
10 inches
The required stroke is within the 0176s limitations.
6. Design Envelope Requirements
The Dynamic Characteristics Table shows that the
outside diameter meets the space requirements
of a minimum 10 inch diameter footprint. The OD is
given at various heights between 15% and 27.5%
compression. The OD of the Marsh Mellow spring at
26% compression is approximately 8.5 inches. The
height of the Marsh Mellow spring can easily be read
from the load deflection curve. From the previous
section Individual Data Sheet, Load Deflection
Curve we determined the height of the 0176 with
a load of 4000 lbs is 7.8 inches.
7. Lateral Stability
As shown on the sketch of the equipment, the Marsh
Mellow springs are mounted within the recommended
distance of the center of gravity. The 0176 is also
being used between 15% and 27.5% compression for
maximum lateral stability. For additional stability with
inclined screens or screen with off-mounted pivot
motors, Firestone tension bands are often used as tag
lines. The W22-358-0215 and 0275 tension bands are
widely used in this application.

Shock Impact Selection
Marsh Mellow springs are commonly found on
overhead cranes and other bumper applications.
The following are the basic guidelines in determining
the correct Marsh Mellow spring under shock
impact conditions.
Calculating the Required
Energy Dissipation
To size the proper Marsh Mellow spring, the amount of
energy generated by the moving object must be known.
There are several ways to calculate this.
For a free falling mass without an initial velocity:
The following will calculate the amount of energy that
needs to be absorbed for a free falling mass which
starts at rest.
Potential Energy = mass x gravity/height (lb
force
inches)
mass x gravity = the weight of the object (lb
force
)
height = the height the object begins its
descent (inches)
For a free falling mass with an initial velocity:
This calculation models a falling mass which has an
initial velocity. The energy generated during free fall
must be added to the kinetic energy associated with
its initial velocity.
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity
2
(lb
force
inches)
Potential Energy = see calculation for free falling
mass without initial velocity
mass = weight (lb

)

velocity = initial velocity before free fall
inches
seconds
For a horizontal impact or if the velocity immediately
before impact is known:
Under these conditions the kinetic energy generated
by velocity must be calculated.

second
Marsh Mellow Spring Selection
After the amount of energy needed to be absorbed
is calculated, the proper Marsh Mellow spring for
the application may be determined. Please contact
Firestone Industrial Products to select the correct
Marsh Mellow spring which has at least the same
amount of absorbed energy capability as required
for the application.
Note: While the marshmellow will absorb the impact
energy on the compression stroke and dissipate
some amount of this energy, it will still return
some of the energy in the form of a rebound
stroke. In some applications, viscous or friction
dampers may be required to control the speed
of the rebound stroke.

Vibration Isolation Selection
1. For specific design parameters needed to determine
the correct Marsh Mellow spring for an application,
consult the Design Parameter Sheet on page 61.
2. If possible, determine the load at each mounting
point. If this is not possible, estimate the load on
the Marsh Mellow spring by adding the weight of
the machine plus the weight of the materials on
the machine while operating, then divide the total
weight by the number of Marsh Mellow springs to
be used. This estimate will only be accurate if the
loads center of gravity is equidistant from each
mounting point. If the weight of the machine is
unknown, contact the equipment manufacturer,
your distributor or Firestone for assistance.
Firestones or your distributors machine weight
estimates are based on the manufacturers pub-
lished weights of current models of the same size
and type. Weight consideration must be given to a
special machine, modified machines, or older
machines that will add weight to the unit.
3. Select a spring that falls in the mid-range of the
minimum and maximum load capacities shown
in the Selection Guide. For maximum life and
stability, it is suggested that Marsh Mellow springs
be used at or less than 25% (of free height) actual
static deflection. Although the maximum loading
figures in the above selection guide are given at
27.5% deflection (and these Marsh Mellow
springs
all pass our lateral stability test at up to 30%
deflection), the lateral rate to load ratio decreases
as deflection increases. The extra 2.5% deflection,
then, is a safety factor for possible weight miscalcu-
lations. Additionally, the delta strain (Stroke/Free
Length x 100) should not exceed 7.5%.
4. If more than one spring meets the load criteria
in number 2, then select the spring with the
lowest natural frequency (isolation percentage
will be increased).
5. Determine the stroke required.
6. Refer to the second selection guide table.
Check to make sure that for a given stroke
and part, the height and load are within
the allowable limits given.
7. If it does not fall within the proper range, then
select a different spring or go to more than one
Marsh Mellow
spring per corner.

8. Consult the individual data page for the specific
load and vibration capabilities, as well as
mounting and Marsh Mellow spring dimensions.
9. Determine if the natural frequency of the
Marsh Mellow spring will sufficiently isolate
the disturbing vibration.
10. Tag lines are usually required for inclined screens
or screens with off-mounted pivoted motors.
(Consider using our tension band W22-358-0215
or W22-358-0275).
11. Please review the Installation section of
the Marsh Mellow Spring Design Manual for
additional information.
Selection Procedure (Metric)
20
Vibration Isolation Selection Example
The following example follows the correct procedure
in determining which Marsh Mellow spring best suits
a given set of requirements.
The vibrating screen illustrated to the right has the
following description and design requirements:
Description of Equipment = Vibrating screen
Total Weight of Machine = 53.3kN
Total Material Load = 17.8kN
Number of Mounting Points = 4
Space Available =254mm diameter
footprint
Stroke = 12mm
Disturbing Frequency = 16.7Hz
Percent Isolation Desired = 90%
1. Determine Individual Spring Load
The exact load at each mounting point is not
available, so the individual loads must be estimated.
The minimum load each spring will support is
assumed to be equal to the machine weight divided
by the number of mounting points.
2. Examine Marsh Mellow Spring
Load Capabilities
From the Selection Guide - Load Capabilities, seven
different Marsh Mellow springs will support load range
from 13.3kN to 17.8kN. The W22-358-0200, 0176,
0042, 0190, 0179, 0122, and 0228. As discussed in
the Dynamic Characteristics section, a lower natural
frequency Marsh Mellow spring will provide better
isolation. Since the W22-358-0176 has a low natural
frequency at both minimum and maximum loading,
we will select this part for the example.
3. Determine Stroke Requirement
The required stroke for this screen is 12mm with
a maximum load of 17.8kN. On the Selection Table -
Stroke Requirements, the 0176 has a maximum
stroke capability of 12mm with a load range of 8.62
to 20.18kN. The 0176 meets this requirement.

= 17.8kN per spring
# of Mounting Points 4
21
4. Determine Exact % Isolation
The percentage of isolation can either be calculated
or the % Isolation chart may be used. The first step
is to refer to the individual data page for necessary
information. The Dynamic Characteristics table will
provide this data.
At the minimum load of 13.3kN, the 0176 is between 15% and 20% compression.
We can interpolate this data and estimate the natural frequency at minimum load.
MinimumLoad - Load@15%
=
NaturalFreq - NaturaIFreq@15%
Load@20% - Load@15% NaturaIFreq@20% - NaturaIFreq@15%
NaturalFreq = NatFreq@15% +
[(MinimumLoad - Load@15%) x (NatFreq@20% - NatFreq@15%)]
Load@20% - Load@15%
NaturalFreq = 2.92Hz +
[(13.3 - 10.22)kN x (2.65 - 2.92)Hz)]
(14.89 - 10.22)Hz
NaturalFreq@13.3kN = 2.73Hz
We can interpolate the natural frequency at the maximum load of 17.8kN in a similar way.
However, in this case we know the natural frequency at 17.8kN directly from the data table.
NaturalFreq@17.8kN = 2.48Hz
Knowing these natural frequencies, as well as the disturbing frequency, allows us to determine
the exact % isolation with the following equations:
%Isolation = 100 -

The percentage of isolation can also be determined
using the % isolation chart shown above.
The diagonal lines across the chart represent specific
isolation percentages. The intersection point, where
the forced frequency and natural frequency meet,
will lie on or between these diagonal lines. As shown
above the forced frequency of 16.7Hz and the
natural frequencies of 2.48 and 2.73Hz result in
97-98% isolation.
The percent isolation of 97% exceeds the required
isolation of 90%.
5. Determine Exact Strain
The maximum allowable delta strain a Marsh Mellow
spring can withstand is 7.5%. In order to calculate this
we need to know the free height of the Marsh Mellow
spring. Strain is equal to the stroke, 12mm, divided by
the free height.
Strain = Stoke (mm) x 100%
FreeHeight (mm)
Strain = 12mm x l00% = 5%
254mm
The required stroke is within the 0176s limitations.
6. Design Envelope Requirements
The Dynamic Characteristics table shows that the
outside diameter meets the space requirements
of a minimum 254mm diameter footprint. The OD is
given at various heights between 15% and 27.5%
compression. The OD of the Marsh Mellow spring at
26% compression is approximately 216mm. The
height of the Marsh Mellow spring can easily be read
from the load deflection curve. From the previous
section Individual Data Sheet, Load Deflection
Curve, we determined the height of the 0176 with
a load of 17.8kN is 198mm.
7. Lateral Stability
As shown on the sketch of the equipment, the Marsh
Mellow springs are mounted within the recommended
distance of the center of gravity. The 0176 is also
being used between 15% and 27.5% compression for
maximum lateral stability. For additional stability with
inclined screens or screen with off-mounted pivot
motors, Firestone tension bands are often used as tag
lines. The W22-358-0215 and 0275 tension bands are
widely used in this application.

Vibration Isolation New Installation
1. Select the correct Marsh Mellow spring for the
specific application following the guide lines in
Selection Procedure of the Marsh Mellow
2. Fabricate mounting plates with locating pins for the
Marsh Mellow spring according to the dimensions
on the individual data sheet.
3. Raise the machine to a height greater than the
height of the mounting plates and Marsh Mellow
spring free height. Prepare the mounting surface, *
and insert the Marsh Mellow
spring assembly
with upper and lower mounting plates in place.
4. Carefully lower the machine on mounting plates,
making sure the upper and lower mounting plates
are in line vertically at all support points.
5. Cautioncheck the loaded Marsh Mellow spring
height. It must be within the height range shown on
the data sheet. If the height is not within the height
range, the estimated loads are not correct. If the
height is greater than the limit, the machine may
shift while going through resonance. If the height
is less than allowable, the spring is overloaded
and may be damaged while running. In either case,
contact your distributor or Firestone. Record the
actual height to determine the actual load from
the data sheet. This will assist your distributor or
Firestone in recommending another size Marsh
Mellow spring.
6. If the height of the loaded Marsh Mellow spring is
within the range but the machine is not level, raise
the lower end by using shims.
7 If the height is correct, drill holes in the mounting
plates and mating machine mount and floor mount.
Bolt securely.
8. Run the machine through startup and shutdown
2 or 3 times to observe any erratic motion. If gallop
through resonance is excessive, something may be
wrong. If there is any question, contact your distribu-
tor or Firestone.
9. Operate the machine as you would normallycheck
the temperature of the Marsh Mellow spring after
about 1 hour and 4 hours of operation by placing
your hand on the surface of the Marsh Mellow
spring. The Marsh Mellow spring will be warm.
If the Marsh Mellow spring is so hot that you cant
leave your hand on it, something is wrong. Check
your spring height. If it is not within the height
range as shown on the Marsh Mellow spring data
sheet, your load is not correct and a different
size spring is needed. Contact your distributor or
Firestone and do not continue to run the machine
under this condition.
*Note: Use water or silicone spray lube to assist in
pressing the marshmellow on the pin. Avoid
damaging the ID.

Shock absorption is a natural application for Marsh
Mellow
springs. Suitable for cranes, hammers,

bumpers, and similar applications.
Tag Line
Tag lines are usually required for inclined screens or
screens with off-mounted pivot motors. Consider using
Marsh Mellow tension bands. Marsh Mellow tension
bands are constructed with just the fabric reinforced plies
and serve as an industrial strength band.
